Subject: We Are in a Logic Warp - Probability Has Been Reversed (as I predicted)
About a month ago I wrote a story about the universe going into a
logic warp.  Not a time or space warp, but a logic warp.  In a warp,
the rules all change.  In a logic warp, probability is reversed.  The
unliklely becomes the likely.

About a week after writing it, I saw a news story about a baby
carriage falling on a train track and the train going over it without
scratching the baby.  Then a car hit a wall where a person stood, but
a piece of brick knocked the car aside inches from the person.  And a
bus came inches from hitting someone running across the street.

Just now here in Boston a woman fell on a train track and the train
ran over her before it stopped.  She walked away.

Geez, Charlie, we already have one |-|erc.  I don't think we need two.

It's not clear we need the one we have. But I must say, Herc-related
deja-vu was exactly the experience I was having by midway through
the second paragraph.

You're not reporting all the cases where people got squished to death
like a bug.

The true irony is that you're a Google-poster with
a gmail address posting to sci.logic.

Well, you got the message, didn't you?  The message content is
independent of the delivery method.

So --- the point remains that he failed to report all the cases where
people got squished.

Have a very nice day.

You got it wrong.  A logic warp is an improbability drive
and was invented decades ago by the Duck Breath Theater.

Apparently somebody in Boston is testing an improbability drive.

You can test this yourself.   Take a coin
and flip it a few times.
In a logic warp you would expect
to see only heads or only tails.  But since we
are in a logic warp you will not see what
you expect but A MIXTURE OF HEADS
AND TAILS !!!!!!!!!

Yes, only a logic warp can explain the improbability of finding a
camera case in the woods, only seven days after dropping it there.

No, the probasbilities are reversed.  instead of 1/2 heads and 1/2
tails, you get 1/2 tails and 1/2 heads.  So you don't really notice it
in this case.

Using new methodology, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
has revised its estimate of the total number of deaths caused by swine
flu. The new figures will result in a tripling of the number deaths
from H1N1overnight.
